Silver Infocomm Initiative - E-including seniors for wellness and integration into the community


Description

The Silver Infocomm Initiative (SII) is a Digital Inclusion effort, led by the government in strong partnership with industry, academia and the community, to engage the seniors so that they, too will be able to benefit from a digital economy. This is made more evident as Singapore develops to be a Smart Nation, with many critical government services moving online. The success of SII hinges on the following:
- a multi-pronged approach;
- strong partnerships;
- active volunteerism; and
- sustained government support.
These elements are demonstrated through the various strategies implemented under the SII branding.
